Remember as you level up you get access to more infusions. At level 5 you get double attack. At 9th you get 3rd level spells. At 12th you unlock the 3rd tier of infusions, and 13th you get 4th level spells. 16th you get the strongest infusions in the game and make no mistake they are good and strong. Even the 12th level ones are great. Bracers of Archery are a solid extra +4 damage a turn, and don't forget there's nothing that says you have to use these yourself. You can pass this stuff off to party members. Fighters that high level would love Winged Boots to fly up and deal with flyers, the Bard or Rogue would get a lot of benefit out of the Hat of Disguise, at 12th level you just manufacture your own +2 weapon, etc. Even the weaker level 16 ones like Ring of the Ram can still be respectable. 6d10 damage isn't nothing. There's a lot of versatility in the Infusions. The class isn't flashy in the way that it progresses but it's definitely there. And I'm really not altogether worried about the Homunculus or the Turrets. The way I see it, you have to compare them to 1st level spells and in both cases they're far and away better than any other 1st level spells you can ask for with very few, if any acceptions. My main beef is with the Artillerist and needing to spend a whole action to summon the turret. It feels like a waste of a turn. It should really be a bonus action to summon it and then activate it in the same turn, otherwise the higher your level the harder it is to justify that kind of action cost.The Artificer is the same as it's always been. Subtle, not flashy, and geared towards a support role and I'd be happy to have one in my party no problem. It's undertuned to be sure, but it's not a bad class by any stretch. It's incredibly versatile.</blockquote>
